"Don and team are very hard workers. They were moving every minute. The job I hired them for was daunting and they got it done in record time, even with rain we have had this spring! I highly recommend them. I am planning to booking them next month for a couple other projects."

"The service was excellent. He was very friendly and prompt with both an estimate and the service. I especially appreciated this after I had initially contacted a different company who made me wait over a week for a simply estimate. I was so happy to find Northern Lights Structures who came out the same day for an estimate. They did a very good job installing a new garbage disposal and sink in my home. I highly recommend Northern Light Structures to everyone and I, myself, will be a returning customer."

Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

Modern outdoor light fixtures are waterproof and weather resistant, and, provided they’re installed correctly and by a professional, the fixture and wiring can last for 20 to 30 years or more. The lifespan will depend largely on the quality of the fixture. The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:

  • CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours

  • Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours

  • HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours

  • Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours

  • LED bulb: 50,000 hours

Yes, animals can trigger motion-sensor lights. In fact, this is a reason why some homeowners install motion-sensor lights, to catch sneaky little critters looking through the rubbish for a midnight snack. There are sensitivities to animal detection though, so you may want to look for an option that avoids animal detection as much as possible.

Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.

If your lights are shorting out during rain storms or other winter events, you should probably replace them. These shorts indicate electrical issues that could cause serious hazards. Look for outdoor-rated lights with connectors made for rainy conditions to replace them. But if your Christmas lights are new and you want further protection, you can find weatherproof covers to add to the male-end connectors of your Christmas light strings. These can minimize the risk of shorts.

A motion detector light may need to be reset due to a number of technical issues. These can include faulty or misadjusted sensors and burned-out bulbs. You may also need to reset a motion sensor after an electrical surge or a power outage, as these can change a light’s settings and cause it to function differently.
